Arie didn’t graduate high school? Wow. Good thing he had his family name and built in money to fall back on. Rolling Eyes

Yeah, Jennifer Lawrence dropped out of high school. That’s a huge exception. So did a lot of your standard Walmart Greeters and McDonalds employers... unless those jobs also require a high school diploma nowadays. Wouldn’t be surprised if they did.

Not positive, but I thought he said on the show that he barely graduated from high school, not never.

@grace8136 That’s correct! He joked about barely finishing high school in a conversation with Sienne.

In describing Arie’s HT date with Krystal, AZcentral.com said this:

They toured his alma mater Desert Mountain High School, and saw the principal's office.

Arie graduated from Desert Mountain HS in 2000, according to Wiki.

Happy 2nd thread! 22 - Arie Luyendyk Jr - Lauren Burnham - Bachelor 22 - Discussion #2 - Page 3 1710264613

@grace8136 @alwaystulips you guys are correct Smiley

I remember him mentioning "barely graduating high school" in an ITM during his time with Sienne at the group date cocktail party ep 2. I rewatched that part and his exact words were "She went to Yale. I barely graduated high school and worked at Pizza Hut" laugh out loud

So are we taking Krystal's word as truth now I see. LOL

The quote about his alma mater was from an Arizona news outlet reporting on their date, not Krystal.

@TheWrongReasons, thanks for rewatching that part of Epi 2! That was a cute ITM. Smiley

While "alma mater" is typically used to indicate an educational institution from which one has graduated, it can also be used to indicate an institution that a person only attended.

Wouldn't be surprised if Arie had graduated but I definitely wouldn't use him as the poster child for honesty. He isn't exactly a beacon of truth...that one. IMO.

by alwaystulips Sat Mar 17, 2018 4:57 am

I’m not saying he’s a beacon of truth. I’m saying he graduated. It’s cited in several places, and he said it on the show. Why would he lie about that? no idea

Also In Arizona you need a Highschool diploma to work as an agent, although rules changed, For Example I think neither In Virginia or Washington you don't need highschool, but in Jersey you need atleast two years in college.

I think there may be some confusion. Krystal said he told her he didn't graduate from HS. Were you saying that the AZ news stations said he did?

Sure, that's cool. I don't have a strong opinion either way about Arie's educational history. I thought he was joking on the show about "barely graduating from H.S." Was just stating my opinion about his overall truthfulness and honesty.
